480 A FIRST LIST OF THE BIRDS 



663. — Corvus impudicus, Hodgs. Plain country Passim. This 

 is the so-called dark race ; size and shape of impudicus, but 

 has the gvey of the latter constantly entirely replaced by 

 dull black I have as yet obtained no intermediate forms - r 

 it seehis to require specific separation ; if not already 

 named, may stand as insolens, nobis. 



669 bis. — Garrulus leucotis, Hume. Pine Forests north of 

 Palipoon; rare. 



671 bis. — Urocissa magnirostris, Bit/. Pahpoon, Amherst, Meeta 

 Myo. Doubtfully distinct. 



673. — Cissa speciosa, Shaw. Passim ; common. 



674. — Dendroeitta rufa, Scop. Passim ; common. 



676. — Dendroeitta kimalayensis, My. North of Pahpoon. Ab- 

 solutely identical with the Himalayan bird. 



678 bis. — Crypsirina varians, Lath. Passim; common. 



678 quat. — Temnurus lencopterus, Tern. Meeta Myo; only. 

 Identical with Malaecan examples. 



683 bis. — Sturnopastor superciliaris, My. General; very 

 common. 



684. — Acridotheres tristis, Lin. Passim; common. 



'686. — Acridotheres fuscus, Wagl. Moulmein and southwards. 

 Somewhat darker race, approaching siamensis. 



688. — Temenuchus malabaricus,* Gm. Passim; common. 



689 qu int. — Temenuchus dauricus, Pall. Moulmein, Tavoy, 



and Amherst ; not common. 



690 ter. — Calornis affinis, Hay. South of Moulmein only. These 

 though not typical are nearer the Tipperah birds than 

 the Sumatran insidiator, or the Nicobar and Andaman 

 Tytleri. 



691. — Saroglossa spiloptera, Vig. 



693. — Eulabes javanensis, Osbec. Hills, Passim; much the same 



size of bill as specimens from Sikhim and Nepal Terai. 

 693 sextus. — Ampeliceps coronatus, Bly. South of Moulmein ; 



only. 



* The Burmese race of malabaricus is very distinguishable, and may have hereafter 

 to be specifically separated. The adult males differ conspicuously ; they always 

 have the lower parts a much paler rufous, which rufous extends much less on to the 

 breast than in malabaricus. They have the upper tail-coverts much more strongly 

 tinged with a kind of rufous golden tint; and lastly, they always have, so far as our 

 numerous specimens go, a larger or smaller patch of pure white on the wing ; this 

 patch however is variable in extent; sometimes the entire winglet and the whole of 

 the primary greater coverts are snow white ; and this appears to be typical of the 

 oldest adults, while in the younger males only some of these feathers will be pure 

 white ; and in a quite young male only one single one of the coverts is white and no 

 portion of the winglet. 



The females only differ in being much paler underneath than adult female 

 malabarica. If considered distinct it may stand as T. lewopterus, nobis.
